Ripple Maps XRPL Quantum-Security Transition Through 2028 Arabian Post

(MENAFN- The Arabian Post) clearfix"> Ripple is moving ahead with a four-phase programme to prepare the XRP Ledger for post-quantum cryptography, targeting a transition to quantum-resistant signatures by 2028 while testing security mechanisms before a large-scale quantum threat becomes practical.

The roadmap, set out by Ripple in April and detailed by its engineering team, is designed to protect accounts and transactions if powerful quantum computers eventually become capable of breaking the elliptic-curve cryptography now used across blockchain networks. Ripple says the work is being treated as a multi-year infrastructure migration rather than one software patch.

Ayo Akinyele, Ripple's senior director of engineering, said the objective was to ensure financial infrastructure could evolve before quantum computing becomes an immediate threat, without disrupting the assets, applications and users that depend on the ledger.
